Dog lover with a flexible schedule

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! From growing up around them to owning my own dog walking business, having pups around me has simply made my life so much better. I relish every opportunity to take care of them and truly believe that it’s my duty to bring as much puppy happiness into the world as possible! It’s also so great to be able to help owners by giving them peace of mind as well. All in all, I just can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! My experience with dogs in a professional setting largely comes from when I owned my own dog walking business. It was an amazing experience and working with pups was so much fun. Not only that, I learned a great deal about how to provide excellent and professional care to pups of all stripes, and have taken so much of that with me as I have transitioned to my next dog sitting stage! All in all, every kind of pup is welcome by me and I’m happy to take pups that need a little extra TLC as well. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. One of the best things about me as a sitter is that I will be with your pup for almost the whole day! I am a freelance writer, which means that I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pooch. Rather than keeping your pup kenneled up during the day, I’ll make sure that they enjoy all the freedom they need to thrive. In addition to that, you’ll be kept in the loop on practically everything we do together! I love checking in with owners and making sure that they know exactly how their pooch is doing. Of course, my updates will always include pictures so you can see how much fun we’re having together!

Adrian has been a very reliable and consistent pet sitter for more than 2 years. She loves my dog and takes great care of her. I would highly recommend her and even though we no longer need the service, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future should we need to go away for the weekend.

Adrian took very good care of our cat while we were on an extended holiday. This was our first time booking a sitter through Rover and we weren’t sure how it would go. But Adrian kept us well informed about the process and sent us prompt updates about our cat, which put our mind at ease. Thank you, Adrian!

Information Adrian R. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

Portland is full of amazing things to do with dogs! There are tons of things to do around me, including lots of grassy spaces and nice places to play around in. I love hiking in Forest Park since it has so many great walking trails for dogs and humans alike. Local neighborhoods are always plenty of fun to explore as well! I do like to maintain an active lifestyle, so your pup will be in good hands if they enjoy getting tons of exercise. But from getting out and about constantly to just hanging around and cuddling, I’m happy to move at your pup’s pace.
